Golden Rose Swatches

First I want to do the colors that Mary sent extra. These are Golden Rose USA's top sellers.

#40 from the Paris line.

A golden base with gold glitter. It is sheer so I layered 2 thin coats over a taupe, 20 coats and you can't see the taupe at all. I believe that you could make this opaque in 4 coats.

Direct light Low Light

#24 from the Paris line is a fabulous almost jelly yet opaque pink.

I would say a Barbie pink yet in lower light it's a bit deeper if you notice the top two pictures.

Opaque in two coats but squishy looking. Love it!

#83 from the Paris line is a Coral/red

In direct light it looks like the pictures above. In Low light it looks more of a soft orange red but still looks good on my skin, which is unheard of! This also has that jelly-like look. (2 coats)

#52 from the Fashion color line is my new favorite spring green. It is a lime green not quite neon but not pastel and is a wonderful Jelly. This is 3 coats and no top coat.

#76 from the Paris line. I already had on a green blue so I layered it over as it looks sheer.

It is a mermaid sea blue with shimmering glitter flecks. Gorgeous color, but I think it would be better layered over a straight blue or black. The green blue made the very tips of my nails look odd almost stained.

So I will try this again because the color is amazing.

#66 Paris line is a metallic/chrome silver opaque in 2 coats and the depth changes with different lighting.

As with most metallics it shows brush strokes though not enough so that a coat of seche wouldn't hide it.

#101 Paris holographic line is a taupe holo. The sun kept disapearing on me so I'll take pictures again when the sun is shining. The holo in this is beautiful, it's a dispursed holo similar to the OPI DS holo's. If you love holo but work in a conservative office I honestly believe you could get away with this. The color is very soft and work safe and in indoor light the holo is subtle enough that it's only noticable if you look carefully.

#113 Paris Holographic line you only get one picture in indirect light because again the sun played peek a boo. But it is my manicure for tomorow so I will have better sunlight pictures the.

This is a great Pink/red holo. I layered it over a red creme the day they arrived just to see and yes if layered over red it is red. On it's own it is a deep reddish pink and the holo is beautiful!

#108 Paris Holographic is a red based purple holo.

The holo's all remind me of the origional OPI DS holo's and I'm loving the colors.

#36 Fashion color line is a light blue metallic that wanted to show up as grey.

It is a very pretty baby blue metallic, these are with no top coat and almost no brush strokes.

The last one you have to wait until tomorrow because I have a comparison to do with it.

Overall: The brushes are great, not too wide, not too skinny and they fan perfectly.

I really am thrilled with all of the colors. The formula is great quality, not thick or gloopy, not runny just very smooth creamy formula in all. I am very impressed with this brand and with Golden Rose USA.

Those are all gorgeous on you. I dearly love your very long nails. This length looks lovely also. Your extra long nails really sets you apart. They're the best nails by far. I guess you are missing them badly. They're still longer than mine! I just broked my middle finger and ring finger. It feel weird and I'm tempted to chop the little fingernail off. Out of all I'm like the orange shade. That's weird because I usually don't wear oranges. My girlfriend found all the Milani holo's and neons for me the other day. I'm wearing Pink Hottie today. I don't know if you celebrate Easter or not but if you do have a blessed Happy Easter. If not have a blessed day and enjoy your Sunday. Big hugs to you. :*

I can't believe that I'm about to say this...probably the silliest thing ever...but- I'm having a difficult time getting over the fact that you cut your lovely nails!I know they'll grow- but until then, I'm without nails to dazzle me *and* desktop wallpaper. :'(
